I was just standing there looking at the old truck. I should have left the garage a while ago but I noticed I had not re-connected a grounding
strap. Since the truck cab is resting
on rubber mounts there must be a flexible braided brass strap connecting the
metal cab to the steel frame. Without it the electrical system will not
work. It is very important to get this
done. It was just another little thing
that had to be completed. I cannot tell
you how many more little things still need to be accomplished. I have figured out that these things must not
be overlooked. Each little undone thing
is a potential nightmare waiting to terrorize my life, my ride, on the open highway. Sometimes I wish I could see all those little
things right now and make a good list ahead of time. Unexpectedly, there is a new list of things demanding
attention right now! On the other hand, if
I really understood how much work there was yet to do I might become
discouraged and quit. Maybe the blessing
is in not knowing about all these things that remain unfinished. I am certain there will be some challenges yet
to come but for now, I must keep going! Get
something done every week. Stay faithful
to the project. Until then I will just keep
working on those things I already know about.
Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you
think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have
attained.
